Before downloading, take a moment to run our Spec Checker and ensure your computer is compatible with the mod. Being able to run vanilla Freelancer does not mean you will be able to run Freeworlds: Tides of War! If you have concerns about performance, use the Spec Checker's output when asking your question, either here on the forums or on our Discord server.

The mod requires a clean install of Freelancer 1.0 (this will be what the CD installs). No patch or update is required.

If you are using Windows 8 or above, you may run into a problem with SmartScreen when running either Spec Checker, the installer or the Launcher. You may find instructions on how to bypass this here: How to bypass SmartScreen.
